The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Eloise looked at Athena with surprise, realizing she wasn’t joking, and for a moment, she was stunned.

For the first time, Athena didn’t refuse them.

Eloise’s heart swelled with joy. She nearly burst into laughter, but she held back for fear of displeasing Athena.

Suppressing her joy, Eloise nodded repeatedly. “Great! Let’s not waste any time. Let’s set off right away?

With that, Eloise instructed the servants, “Prepare some snacks for the young ladies ”

Eloise looked at Athena with fawning eagerness and reached for her hand, but Athena skillfully sidestepped the gesture.

Eloise’s smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said warmly, “You’re so fail, dear. Why not ride in the carriage with me? Ours is larger and more comfortable”

Eloise had always tried to build a closer relationship with Athena, but no matter what she did, Athena remained standoffish toward her

Today seemed like an opportunity.

But once again, her wish fell through. Athena still declined. “No need. I’m used to it.”

She was used to being alone, used to not bring cared for. She had long grown numb to affection

Eloise now trying to please her only made her feel even more indifferent.

Rather than sit and watch them act out their loving mother–daughter routine, she’d rather be alone.

Athena stepped forward, Trina following closely behind.

Eloise watched Athena walk away with a hollow gaze, tears welling up in her eyes.

Eloise wondered bitterly, “Why won’t Athena get close to me!!

She had tried so hard. She didn’t know what more she could do for Athena to acknowledge her as her mother.

“Mother,” Willow stepped forward and held Eloise’s arm. “Don’t be too sad. After all, Athena suffered in the mistry camp for three years, it’s normal for her to resent me. If I could go back in time, I’d rather be the one who went.”

Her eyes reddened, and tears rolled down. ” giving up my life could ease Athena’s pain, I would do it. I stole the love that should’ve belonged to her deserve to die.”

Eloise grew anxious after hearing this. “What nonsense are you saying? You’re about to get married, talking about death is so inauspicious

She wiped Willow’s tears with a handkerchief and said emotionally, “If it weren’t for you by my side, I don’t know how I would we survived these past. three years. Rather than say you stole her love, I’d say jou were the one who took care of me in her place.”

Eloise added softly, “if not for you, I’d have fallen ill long ago.”

Willow sniffled, her voice trembling. “But Athena,

“She’s stubborn. She might not understand now, but one day she will.” Eloise sighed. Looking at Willow’s gentle face, she felt much more comforted.

Without this daughter, she might not have survived three years of longing

Eloise smiled and said gently. “It’s getting late. Let’s set off”

Chapter 103

Willow replied softly, “Yes, Mother.”

Athena boarded a smaller, narrow carriage with Trins. There wasn’t even a small table inside, let alone a foot warmer or refreshments.

Trina was filled with indignation, chattering nonstop, “Lady Eloise only says nice things but doesn’t follow through the truly cared about you, the wouldn’t let you be treated like this after returning to the household.”

The bench in the camiage was hard, it might be tolerable for a short ride, but a long journey would be rough.

Trina placed a thick cushion under Altena, making her seat more comfortable.

She spoke for a long time but didn’t get a response. Looking over, she saw Athena lifting the curtain, staring blankly outside

Eloise and Willow were laughing and chatting as they got on their carriage, Sending Athena’s gave, Eloise was about to approach and say something, but Athena quickly dropped the curtain

“Lady Atheria, what are you looking at?” Trina leaned in and asked.

“Nothing” Athena replied, shaking her head.

She just found it odd that the three Monson brothers, usually Willow’s tail, hadn’t come along today.

There were many people. They had a ceremony in the square, and there were many stalks. Many people came to have fun.

Serene Square was close to Pidence City, ohen visited by nobles and wealthy ladies. Its security was crucial

Inside were pastries and a flask of fine wine

Then, his gaze shifted to Athena behind Elise His smile turned into a scowl. “Unlike some people, all self–righteous, pretending to hate por lamily still shamelessly clinging to us.”
